1. Homes in the suburbs were affordable to middle class families. This had to do with lower land prices in suburbs vs. the city and also new building practices that brought down the cost of these suburban homes.

2. The G.I. bill provided loans to military veterans, so this also helped them be able to afford "the American dream" of home ownership.

3. The construction of highways facilitated travel into the cities for work from the suburbs. (Note that the Federal Aid Highway Act was passed in 1956.)

4. There was a perception that life in the suburbs would be safer and less susceptible to crime than life in the city.

That's several reasons you can work with.

Analyze what impression of the main character and his situation is created by the opening dialogue in which he begs his son to m

masha68 [24]

Answer:

The impression of the main character and his situation is that of cowardice and cunning. He begs for his life and tries to convince his son to interfere by saying these words - <em>"Make him listen. Use your wits and tell him they’ve scared me enough. Tell him please for the love of God.”</em>

Explanation:

Since the beginning of "Tell Them Not To Kill Me," it can be understood that Juvencio Nava is desperate. He is tied to a post and is about to face death. He pleads for his life and begs his son to interfere. The son's response to his pleas also tells us that Nava is selfish. He is hesitant to reveal that Juvenico is his father, considering the consequences for his son. He is also worried about himself and the rest of their family. Juvenico's selfishness gets portrayed here through his words to his son - <em>“Providence will take care of them, Justino. You go there now and see what you can do for me. That’s what matters.”</em>
